In June 2026, the Gulf Coast Garden Club met at Denise Baier’s home.
Here are some pictures Anina took this year.
Here are some photos from a previous meeting at Denise’s home in June 2013
Every gardener has a story about the person who opened the door for them β a grandmother who let them dig in her flower bed, a neighbor who shared a cutting over the fence, a friend who brought them to their first plant swap. We are here today because someone was generous with their time, their knowledge, and their welcome.
That spirit is what grows our club. When we greet someone at the door, when we ask a quiet newcomer what they love to grow, when we let experienced members shine and help beginners feel at home β thatβs how community takes root.
The garden teaches us this every season: we reap what we sow. So letβs sow welcome. Sow invitation. Sow generosity. And watch what grows.
This month, challenge yourself to think of one person who might enjoy our next meeting. Reach out with a simple, heartfelt message β βI thought of youβ¦ I think youβd love it. Want to come as my guest?β No pressure, just an open door.
